We hope you will take a few minutes to see what we have to offer.

New Mexico's families make choices and decisions every day about time, money, child rearing, nutrition, and health. To make the best decisions, they need practical, accurate, unbiased information.

New Mexico State University Extension Family & Consumer Sciences, who serve every county in the state, work in partnership with NMSU campus faculty to provide research-based, up-to-date information on important topics that affect families.

Major areas of focus for programming in Extension Family & Consumer Sciences include: Diabetes, Disaster Preparedness, Family Health and Wellness, Family Life and Child Development, Family Resource Management, Food & Nutrition, and Food Technology.
